A golang implementation of TypeIDs
TypeIDs are a modern, type-safe, globally unique identifier based on the upcoming UUIDv7 standard. They provide a ton of nice properties that make them a great choice as the primary identifiers for your data in a database, APIs, and distributed systems. Read more about TypeIDs in their spec.
This particular implementation provides a go library for generating and parsing TypeIDs.
To add this library as a dependency in your go module, run:
go get go.jetify.com/typeid
This library provides a go implementation of TypeID:
import (
"go.jetify.com/typeid"
)
func example() {
// Generate a new TypeID with a prefix (panics on invalid prefix)
tid := typeid.MustGenerate("user")
fmt.Println(tid)
// Generate a new TypeID without a prefix
tid = typeid.MustGenerate("")
fmt.Println(tid)
// Generate with error handling
tid, err := typeid.Generate("user")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Parse an existing TypeID
tid, _ = typeid.Parse("user_00041061050r3gg28a1c60t3gf")
fmt.Println(tid)
// Convert from UUID
tid, _ = typeid.FromUUID("user", "018e5f71-6f04-7c5c-8123-456789abcdef")
fmt.Println(tid)
}
